Recently, the Facility of the Year Awards program named MannKind Corporation’s new manufacturing facility
in Danbury, Connecticut, as winner of two (2) 2010 Facility of the Year Awards. The Facility
of the Year Awards honor the year’s best new and renovated, state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing
facilities worldwide in seven categories. This year, twenty-one companies in twelve countries were considered
and each of the submissions was reviewed by an independent, blue-ribbon judging panel of global
representatives from the pharmaceutical design, construction, and manufacturing sectors. The MannKind
facility, which was constructed for the production of their proprietary Technosphere® Insulin System, was
chosen as winner in the “Equipment Innovation” and “Process Innovation” categories. This is the first time in
the award program’s history that one facility has been honored in two categories.

This challenging project involved the conversion of an existing building to be used for the new
manufacturing process, as well as a new addition for product packaging and offices. R. Baker
& Son All Industrial Services, a premier rigging, dismantlement, plant relocation and building
demolition contractor, was chosen to perform select demolition of the existing facility. Their
challenge was to complete demolition with no interruption to utilities, which included existing boilers,
compressed air systems, desiccant dryers, condensate pumps, and various electrical and control
panels.

This was the second time in two years that R. Baker & Son has assisted a client with winning a
Facility of the Year Award. Last year (2009), R. Baker & Son contributed to a global pharmaceutical
company winning the Facility of the Year Award 2008 in the category of Equipment Innovation.

Prior to starting demolition, R. Baker & Son worked closely with MannKind’s MEP (mechanical,
electrical and process) Team to determine what needed to stay and what needed to go, and to devise a plan to
remove walls, ceilings, doors and floors while keeping old utilities up and running until the switchover
could be made to the new utilities. R. Baker & Son developed a detailed four-phase plan as part of
an overall master plan to keep the project on track and on budget, and achieve the client’s ultimate
goals.

As work commenced, R. Baker & Son worked carefully to re-support existing utilities, electrical
panels, and control panels that had previously been contained by walls and ceilings that were slated for
demolition. Walls and floors were scanned to see if anything unknown existed inside. Block by
block, brick by brick, walls were dismantled and removed. The MEP Team helped keep things running
smoothing by holding daily end-of-day meetings to review progress, discuss work-arounds, and map out the next
day’s plan. Once R. Baker & Son’s work was completed, the transition from old to new utilities was
carried out seamlessly.

R. Baker & Son congratulates MannKind Corp. for their Facility of the Year Awards. “They’re
well-deserved. It was a great project, and it’s an amazing facility”, said Baker. “’I’m glad we
were given the opportunity to do what we do best”.
